Have you checked that the condensate pipe isn't blocked further downstream?

No, don't use the earth wire for anything but earthing, even if not required.

I could've written that myself @sxturbo. Two peas from the same pod! I did once get a builder to build me the shell of an extension (I can turn my hand to anything bar bricklaying, oh and plastering too!) and he said he actually appreciated people like me who did put the effort in to learn and...

Okay, that's good to know. Re the cylinder I wondered if it might be scaling related too as we're in quite a hard water area here. Well, if you enlarged your coverage map to include North Wiltshire maybe you could! I could even sort out a t-shirt with the DIYnot logo on the front (and...

I actually thought you *were* an installer! Take that as a compliment, I think! ;) I have previously received a recommendation from an installer on here about another Intergs installer local(ish) to me so hopefully I'd be in the same boat if I went down that route. That's good to hear -...

Ah, yes, of course. Sorry - I was mixing up my numbers and forgetting it was the SB with the highish low output despite stating so myself. Right, it does seem a better option and puts Intergas back in the game on that front, and they do seem to push their Opentherm compatibility which can only...

It does indeed, thanks @Junglejames. I'm smiling typing this though as soon enough I'll have plenty of options and then I'm back to square one again! :D

I just have! :D All joking aside, the kind of people that choose to go on these more advanced/in-depth courses, the kind that are genuinely interested in the subject they work in, the kind of people that talk about boilers on here when they're not fitting them, are *exactly* the kind of people...

Thanks @muggles - most useful. Could you elaborate on the 'better modulation' aspect of the Xclusive 24? Regarding installers, I've been making an assumption that it wouldn't be a good idea to be force a manufacturer selection on an installer but rather part of my selection criteria should be...

Thanks for that @muggles. I am familiar with heatgeek's knowledgebase but didn't realise they did accreditation. There's a listed installer not too far from me too.

Good question, and one that I feel a bit conflicted about to be honest. At present we've got an Ideal Icos HE15 which, whilst basic, works well and despite daily use hasn't ever skipped a beat or required repair. But it is 14 years old and I wonder how long I can realistically expect it to...

Yes, I'd stumbled across them too (Edit: Via your thread actually - thanks!). Seems a useful service but I don't think it'd be right for me as I like to spend time doing my own research - as much for interest's sake as well as achieving a particular outcome - and thanks to the Internet I am not...

Could get interesting with Boxt as I see that is it Worcester Bosch who is behind it (albeit as a minority stakeholder, but I suspect that's enough to not let them off the hook that easily). Thanks both, really useful light (or perhaps dark!) being cast over them that I'll factor in to further...

Yes, I'm definitely wondering that. I've found with Trustpilot it is pretty robust to that sort of thing. Where takedown challenges are presented there's a transparent process to proving ligitimacy of custom through provision of order numbers etc. I've had it myself when a retailer objected to...

I wish you'd say what you really think @ianmcd. Such mixed messages! ;) Joking aside, that sounds pretty damning! I wonder why the reviews seem so positive, and unanimously so? Perhaps too early for problems to manifest themselves at the point of review, or maybe ignorance on the part of the...

I am currently weighing up replacement boiler options, not just regarding the choice of boiler itself but who/how to get the installation work done too. I happened to stumble across the likes of Heatable and Boxt (are there others in this market too?) who seem to be offering what they describe...

That might be true in some cases but in many (eg combis with stored water, or stored hot water systems in general) it is a seemingly common misconception as the pipework only contains a fraction of the water required for a typical wash. Ebac suggest it is in the order of 1.3L out of typical 20L...

More nonsense. Cold-fill-only machines has nothing to do with EU rules and everything to do with cost cutting on the part of manufacturers. Whilst few in number they are still available - Ebac being a good example and they've got a page with more information on it if you want to learn more.

Simple maths, completely incorrect conclusions. I give up as I'm at risk of falling for your trolling.

So you've overlooked the 'for one hour' bit then...? This is starting to feel like a discussion amongst drunks.
